Hi all

I realised my Storeroom E27 Light holder spolit...the entire copper thingi where u screw in the bulb came out...

How do i replace it?

Do i need to get electrician?

1) Swt Main Swt on CCT Breaker box 'OFF'. Unless u knoe which fuse it is connected to than u can swt that particular one off, else PLAY SAFE swt off MAINs

2) Use a test-pen to ensure no more current running by tapping on all wires making sure test-pen does not light up.

3) Screwdriver (usually philips head). Undo the whole holder. Draw a diagram of what colour wires go into which screw due when replacing new holder you have to place the coloured wires back the same sequence.

4) Go buy another bulb holder from any hardware shop, usually 5 bucks.

5) No drilling required as all holes on ceiling would have been drilled with wall plugs in there.

6) Replace holder, screw back bulb.

7) Switch Mains back ON

8) Try switching it ON.... Light UP>Good.....No Light>Get electricial...... at least we tried.....

However if you do not knoe anything abt wiring better not try unless accompanied by someone who kones how to do it.... Cos if MAINS not OFF, during replacement of holder YOU will get ELECTROCUTED! Too high a risk if you do not knoe anything abt electrical wiring.

Just trying to help.....Regards
